Decorating, shopping, wrapping…they all took a backseat last week while I tried to lessen my sweet mother’s burden. I shared in my last post that my stepfather took his life last week. Such a tragedy. Such a heartbreak.

I am trying to get back in the Christmas mode this week as I prepare for a large family gathering coming up this weekend. Cooking and cleaning are at the top of my to do list.

Every room has been decked out with Christmas décor. Some rooms are more simply done than others. The dining room is one of the simpler rooms.

I will look forward to showing you the rest of our Christmas home real soon.

Blessings to you each and every one.

Always remember that you are loved by the Creator of everything!! He has a plan and purpose for your life!! You are the apple of His eye!!

Every thing looks beautiful Amy! Simple, but in the most wonderful way! On a serious note, I can't imagine what your mom is going through, especially at Christmas time. I pray that God holds her close at this difficult time.

Your dining room looks so beautiful, Amy! I love all the natural touches.

I'm so very sorry to read about your step-father. I hate to think of the pain and sadness that someone is experiencing that ultimately drives them to take their own life. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. xo

Hi Sweet Friend, May the God of all comfort shower you with His tender mercies, and give your hearts peace and rest. I'm so sorry, sweetie. I will be praying for each of you.

Amy, it all looks great. Love your rustic flair!! My decor may be mostly limited to the living and dining room this year, with little bits in the family room. Just not enough time!! I want to be able to truly savor this Christmas.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Amy. How truly heartbreaking for all of you. Your home is lovely--especially at Christmas. I'm LOVING your little zinc pots. I want to purchase some, but they've been so pricey. I want to buy more than one. Do you remember if you bought yours online?

Your dining room looks wonderful. I like how you used your zinc pots on the table as well as the little terra cotta pots for candle holders. I also couldn't help but notice that you have an arched doorway into your dining room. LOVE those! I trust you have a wonderful gathering this weekend. Your home is certainly festive and welcoming!Mary Alice

Your dining room is gorgeous, Amy! I love the candles in your little pitch pots...simple & beautiful. And all your different Christmas trees are so cute. I love how you've put it all together. Oh, and that amazing farm table makes me smile...remembering all our coffee talks we have had there together. Hoping you get all your "to do" list accomplished so you can enjoy your family Christmas :) We are all still praying for your mom & for peace for you all...Missing you badly right now during the Holidays!Lots of hugs

Amy,Your dining room decor, like the Little Drummer Boy's gift. . .the simplest is the best! I adore that you've used nature's natural elements throughout! The sign with the message O Holy Night and the cable knit mini~stocking warmed my heart! Prayers continuing for you and your family for comfort and Christ peace at this difficult time in your lives, dear friend!Fondly,Pat
